You might want to sit down before reading this. And get the tylenol/ibuprofen ready.

I would take this as more an indictment of the writing profession, than the state of mathematics.

Good article.

We cannot assume that the reporter there is the only one with this viewpoint. We do not know who else shares it, and how they may control math education. Hence, it does explain (not indict) the state of math in the country.
